Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein, known as celebrity DJ AM, were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed four Southern Californians, including two members of Barker's entourage, authorities said.
The pilot, Sarah Lemmon of Anaheim Hills, and copilot, James Bland of Carlsbad, were killed. Barker's personal assistant Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City and his bodyguard Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles, also were among the dead, according to the Lexington County coroner.
The Learjet, which was en route to Van Nuys, was taking off shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers saw sparks. In what officials described as a "high-speed overrun" the jet veered off the end of the runway, through a grassy area, a perimeter fence and across a road, slammed into a berm and became engulfed in a "significant fire," said National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson.
